I let go of my decorating magazines about 5 years ago (I had a SERIOUS addiction) and it felt great. I find that now, with so much available on the Internet, I rarely buy them anymore. Pinterest to the rescue! My goal this spring is to clean out the house too. Hubby and I just talked this morning about getting a bin and cleaning out the basement. Good luck with your goals!

oh, I feel for you. I am a decorating magazine junkie too (and yes, I have some additions that go back to 2005). To get rid of them would be like losing friends. On the other hand, I am slowly decluttering my house and I like the 40 Days/40 Bags challenge. What a great thing to do during Lent when I've given up eating out and scrolling thru Facebook.

My challenge this week is to clean the spare room, er, my daughter's room, before she arrives home for her college spring break. Oh well, the challenges of living in a 800 s/f home :)

Good for you! I admire that you didn't go rummaging through the truck in the dark after everyone was asleep. And wow, you are stronger woman than I with no eating or drinking out. I'm looking forward to your faith pictures.

Love this post. I love cleaning stuff out and getting rid of excess. It's funny how it really does seem like you can breathe better in your home. You have inspired me to do a little more cleaning out this coming week. I know you live up North and all, but I can't get over all of that snow. :) Oh how good that Starbucks is going to taste to you after Lent!!

Love it! I am fasting dinner....I want to do the 40 bags thing! I keep reading about it. Can I still do it, or does it have to be daily? No matter - I can do it my way - 40 bags must go!! BTW...what size bags are we talking about here... :)

i need someone to come swoop in and take charge of my magazine hoarding problems, dana ... i am envious that you were able to make the separation, it must be so liberating!! looking forward to the day when i can do the same :)

Hi Dana!I'm a new follower to your blog. I wanted to tell you that you inspire me!I love how you are so open to share about your faith and your family and what's important in your world.I'm quite inspired with your 40 days project. So much that I've started my own 40 project. I'm too late to link it to official Lent, but instead 40 in March. (You see, I'm turning 40 {ack!} this month, so it's perfect!)Thank you for sharing your life!Andrea
